The Beethoven Project

The documentary focuses on the celebrated Estonian conductor Paavo Järvi and selected musicians of the German Chamber Philharmonic Bremen. Each of them demonstrates their enthusiasm for music, offering insights into the behind-the-scenes dynamics of an orchestra. How is the orchestra able to present the Beethoven cycle at such a consistently high level in just four days? How is the unique sound produced from the most "authoritative Beethoven orchestra of our day"? What message does Beethoven's music have for the 21st Century? The music documentary "The Beethoven Project" answers these and other questions in 93 minutes: A conductor, an orchestra, Beethoven and his music.
